As I often say, there is so much more than just "the fake Venice" and the "real Venice". Inside the labyrinth and inside of the lagoon a few thousand people are living a few hundred completely different lifestyles within just a couple short kilometers of each other.
During the past couple of days, which passed in the blink of an eye, I have seen live music in earthy bacari, an enormous sky over a wild beach, Neptune fishing in a coy pond, and found myself alone inside one of the oldest churches in Venezia only because I had wandered off the beaten trail to visit an artisan shop I'd heard about. (Which you also will be hearing about first thing in the morning…)
This is one of the great miracles of Venezia! An explorer can wake up in the morning with almost any idea of the environment you'd like to live in that day and go find it in the lagoon.
